Term
factors that influence reaction rate
Definition
concentration, physical state, temperature
Term
reaction rate in terms of products
Definition
rate= -Δ[A]/Δt
Term
rate law
Definition
rate=k[A]^m[b]^n

*m and n are the stoichimetric coefficients if the reaction is elementary... otherwise you have to find them experimentally
Term
reaction orders
Definition
how the rate is affected by reactant concentration.
Term
rate constants
Definition
are specific for a particular reaction AT A PARTICULAR TEMPERATURE!!!
Term
units for rate constant k for an overall zeroth order reaction
Definition
mol/L s
Term
units for a rate constant k for an overall 1st order reaction
Definition
1/s
Term
units for rate constatnt k for an overall second order reaction
Definition
L/mol s
Term
use of integrated rate laws
Definition
used to solve for concentrations, times, or rate constants when you want to consider time a factor
Term
integrated rate law in straight line form for zeroeth order reaction
Definition
[A]=-kt + [A]0
Term
Integrated rate law in straight line form for a 1st order reaction
Definition
ln [A]=-kt + ln[A]0
Term
Integrated rate law in straight line form for a 2nd order reaction
Definition
1/[A]=kt+1/[A]0
Term
half life for a zeroeth order reaction
Definition
[A]0/2k
Term
half life for a 1st order reaction
Definition
(ln2)/k
Term
half life for a 2nd order reaction
Definition
1/k[A]0
Term
Arrhenius equation
Definition
k=Ae^(-Ea/RT)

A=frequency factor
Term
What happens as T increases, according to the Arrhenius equation?
Definition
k increases, and therefore the rate increases.
Term
If the Ea forward is larger than the Ea reverse, is the process endothermic or exothermic?
Definition
endothermic
Term
If the Ea reverse is larger than the Ea forward, is the reaction endothermic or exothermic?
Definition
exothermic
Term
According to the Arrhenius equation, as Ea increases, what happens to k and rate?
Definition
k decreases, which leads to a decreased rate.
Term
what is a spontaneous reaction?
Definition
one proceeding towards equilibrium.
Term
what is the sign of ΔS for the following rxns:
solid-->liquid--> gas
crystalline solid + liquid-> ions
crystaline solids-> gases + ions
Definition
ΔS>0
Term
microstate (W)
Definition
each quantized state of a system (energy levels)
Term
equations for ΔS of a system
Definition
ΔS (sys)=q/T

** RECAll q= cmΔT!!!!!!
Term
Entropy in similar compounds
Definition
for similar compounds, entropy increases with molar mass
Term
determining spontaneity using entropy
Definition
ΔS (universe)>0 means spontaneous

** note... must take into consideration ENTIRE univers, so ΔS sys+ ΔS surr
Term
entropy in relationship to equilibrium
Definition
ΔS (univ)=0 therefore

ΔS (sys)=-ΔS (surr)
Term
phase changes in relationship to equilibrium
Definition
phase changes occur at equilibrium
Term
exothermic reactions
Definition
ΔH<0, then ΔS(surr)>0
Term
endothermic reactions
Definition
ΔH>0, so ΔS(surr)<0
Term
free energy equation
Definition
ΔG=ΔH-TΔS

**WOrd of Caution-- if rxn is not at 298 k, then you MUST use this formula, because the tables are made at 298 K!!!!
Term
spontaneity in relation with gibbs free energy
Definition
ΔG<0 spontaneous
ΔG>0 nonspontaneous
ΔG=0 equilibrium
Term
4.18 joules is...
Definition
the heat required to heat one gram of water by 1 C.
Term
does vapor pressure for a liquid increase as the temperature increases?
Definition
why yes, it does.
Term
do fast reactions have large equilibrium constants?
Definition
not necessarily. Keq=K1/K(-1), and the reaction could occur quickly in both directions.
Term
are activation energies for forward and reverse reactions the same?
Definition
nope. draw some pictures.
Term
will the equilibrium constant for a reaction increase if a catalyst is added?
Definition
nope, catalysts only affect the activation energy.
Term
are the rates of forward and reverse reactions equal at equilibrium?
Definition
yes, this is the definition of equilibrium
Term
equilibrium
Definition
when the reaction rates for the forward and reverse processes are equal
Term
H2O2
Definition
hydrogen peroxide
Term
definition of enthalpy
Definition
ΔH=ΔE+PΔV
Term
1st law of thermodynamics
Definition
ΔE=q+w
Term
ethanol
Definition
C2H5OH
Term
octane
Definition
C8H18
Term
combustion
Definition
adding oxygen gas to form carbon dioxide and water
Term
molality
Definition
mol/kg
Term
ΔH(soln) without ions
Definition
ΔH(soln)=ΔH(solute) + ΔH(solvent) + ΔH(mix)
Term
ΔH(soln) with ions
Definition
ΔH(soln)=ΔH(lattice)+ΔH(hydration)
Term
Osmotic pressure
Definition
pi=MRT

M=molarity
R=gas constant
pi=osmotic pressure
Term
charge density: periodic trends
Definition
charge density increases as you move across the periodic table, and decreases as you move down

Definition
solute and solvent are soluble in each other in any proportion.
